Method and device for determining the position of at least one second transmitting and receiving device in respect of a first transmitting and receiving device in a passive access control system operating in the GHZ range
First Claim
1. A method for determining the position of at least one second transmitting and receiving device in respect of a first transmitting and receiving device in a passive access control system operating in the GHz range, comprising the steps of:
- a) using a radar method, particularly an FM-CW radar method, by which signals are received in the first transmitting and receiving device on the left-hand side and right-hand side of a modulation frequency, and b) determining the distance of two signals closest to the left-hand side and right-hand side modulation frequency, wherein the distance of the two signals is proportional to the distance between the first transmitting and receiving device and at least the second transmitting and receiving device so that multipath propagations are not taken into consideration.

Abstract
A method for determining the position of at least one second transmitting and receiving device (3) in respect of a first transmitting and receiving device in a passive access control system operating in the GHz range, comprising the steps of using a radar method, wherein signals (f1, f2) are received in the first transmitting and receiving device on the left-hand side and right-hand side of a modulation frequency (fmod), determining the distance of two signals (f1, f2) closest to the left-hand side and right-hand side modulation frequency (fmod) wherein the distance is proportional to the distance between the first transmitting and receiving device and at least one second transmitting and receiving device (3), so that multipath propagations are not taken into consideration.
